A Raft to Drift Upon

Kiana Jimenez

August 15, 2025

A raft to drift upon,

When the storm rages on.

A shelter through the thunder’s might,

A beacon glowing in the night.

The first warm rays of dawning sun,

After a winter when hope seemed none.

A gentle balm for a heart that’s bruised,

A strength restored where pain was fused.

The warmth of a fire when the cold bites deep,

A whisper of calm where fears may sleep.

The power to rise when the world pulls down,

A smile that mends even the darkest frown.

The reason to exist when all feels lost,

A guiding light, no matter what the cost.

The thread that ties the heart to hope,

The anchor thrown so we can cope.

This is love, a quiet embrace,

A force that time cannot erase.

A raft to drift upon, steadfast and true,

Carrying the soul to skies of blue.

Together, they confront the devastating cost of undervaluing identity, leaving us questioning what our worth truly is.
Stillness Woven in Color and Verse

In Poetic Bipolar Mind’s Emotive Fusion Art, serenity becomes more than calm—it becomes eternal love. The illustration “Serenity” and the poem “Sunset Love” intertwine, merging tranquil landscapes with the tender embrace of timeless affection. Together, they transform silence into sanctuary and sunset into forever.
